Juventus step closer to Palermo agreement for Amauri

Tuttosport says Juve GM Jean-Claude Blanc was working late into last night on the deal with Palermo officials. The Sicilians will receive a cash component plus youngsters Sebastian Giovinco and Antonio Nocerino in exchange for Amauri.

The Brazilian's agents, meanwhile, remain locked in talks with Juve over personal terms. The Bianconeri are offering £1.75 million-a-year over four years, while Amauri is pushing for £2.2 million-a-year.
